WHO SUCKS?

Notes: Try as they might, the OOTP gods could not wrestle the division title away from us. We wanted it way too much, and they finally just said the hell with it. I haven't decided our playoff rotation yet, but you can bet Claude Osteen won't be in it. That little cold streak down the stretch played him out of it, and he'll be used in the bullpen. We've won 99 games this season with smallball and defense, and that's what we'll use to win in the postseason. I'm positive that we will win our division series against Daytona Beach and win promotion. We won't have a prayer in Silver, but we'll worry about that on Monday.
